Bot the Squire had dr.wn oft his

the eyes of tbe two met in the light of

When he entered his brougham tho

And the man so.t again on the stile.
In tho darkne. the lights from the

Some onrious examples of enter­prise
in the earlier days of Ame:iean
newspapers are oited by Oolonel Tay­lor,
of the Boston Globe. Dnring the
'Moxioan War Mr. A. S. Abell, of the
Baltimore Sun, established an over·
laud express from New Orlellns to Bal·
timorc. Despatobes were conveyed by
race horsos, of whioh the paper em·
ployed sidy. Thus it came to paaa
: that al th.t .poch the Baltimor. Sun
;not only outstripped all other news­,
papers, but beat the Government"maHs
~by tl!idy hours. In 1846, when the
oountry was greatly exolted over the
'question of the Oregon bouudary line
'b.tw •• n Gr •• t Britain .nd the United
~Sto.tes, and the ory was 5440 or fight,
~ a combination of newspapl!rs sent a

Ihaving obtained tho desired news,

Aatonishing is the improvement
:made in the priuting press during the
century. Genernl Taylor says that
the old flat press -of the colonialpuiod,
worked by screws, could print fifty
'papers an hour. The compound lever
press oame next, with a capacity of 250
:an hour. The r evolvingoylinderpress,
:in 1814, brought the eapaoity np to
)000 an hour. In 1827 the London
:Times hod a double oylinder press

The oldest tree in this country is
the yew tree o.t Braburn, in. Kent,
which is said to be 3000 years old;
while at Fortingal. in Perthshire. a
one neM]y as old. At Ankerwyke
house, near Staines, is a yew tree
which W88 famous at the do.te of the
signing of Mllgna CbAris. 1215, and
'later was the trysting plaoe of Henry
VIll. and Anne Boleyn. The thr-ee
yews at Fountains abbey are at least
1200 yeare old, and beneath them tue
founders of the abbey snt in 1132.
There are no famous oaks that rival
any yew in age, 2000 years being the
greatest age attained. Damorey's oak,
in Devonshire, whIch was blown dowu
in 1703, had this distinotion. Cow·

which is said to be 3000 years old;

'later was the trysting plaoe of Henry

yews at Fountains abbey are at least
1200 yeare old, and beneath them tue
founders of the abbey snt in 1132.
There are no famous oaks that rival
any yew in age, 2000 years being the
greatest age attained. Damorey's oak,
